IRA issue threat to Dublin Drug gang

marco murphy

The front page of the Evening Herald today claims that the Provisional IRA in Dublin have issued a threat to a major drug & crime gang located in the west of the city following the murder of inocent dad Wayne Doherty. The threat was made last Sunday and coes after local residents have called on the IRA to take action against drug dealers.

Supposedly the man responsible for the murder has gone into hiding and the parents of Wayne Doherty have asked for "no retaliation" for their sons murder. A senior police officer from Dublin is quoted as sayig "They [the IRA] want to use it to take a stand against drug dealers in the local community". The police also said that senior members of the IRA have threatened to shoot the trigger-man (who is well known) on sight. The Gardai have said they will not tolerate IRA vigilante activity in the area and have called for the Provisionals to withdraw it's threat.

Correct

What's the threat?

That they'll undercut the gang's prices?

A drugs price war in West Dublin would be a most welcome recessionary measure, what with the world cup coming up.

Its about time somebody took care of the drug dealers:D

Are you insinuating IRA involvement in drugs?

johnnyskeleton

Interesting thread, I wonder will the people on other threads who talk about wanting to shoot all the gangland criminals now pledge their support or even go join them?

I hope the parent's wishes are respected and the gardai are allowed to do their job.

I can't see why this is such a big issue, scumbags are killing scumbags all the time, what makes the IRA different from your ordinary average scumbag?

smelltheglove

The man who was killed is far from a scumbag.

That they hide behind history and heritage to carry out their criminal activities.

At least the blatant Westie scum don't try to hide the fact that they're scum

That has been debating thousands of times.

There is no evidence whatsoever of this so called threat. And if they did, who gives a monkeys? One less scumbag on the street. The PIRA has decommissioned, and any acts of violence would be seriously frowned upon by SF as it has worked hard to implement a peace process on the Island.

Bull****. I could just as well insinuate your involvement in drugs. The PIRA are long involved, along with many Republicans from ridding drugs from the streets. Unless you can provide evidence that the PIRA are involved in drug-running, keep your unfound comments to yourself.

Sure nothing changes that's the sad truth.

The media get involved for about a month, pour their hearts out on the story then leave and generally no resolve is found.

Great, hope they make a lot of them go away, permanently.

Gardai can't do feck all.

All crap:
this is the work of DA and the other FF'ers to have the new Criminal Justice bill rammed through.

The whole episode has been carefully choreographed

I've yet to be proved otherwise. If the PIRA acted as the should, this country would have absolutely no drugs within its borders. Amazingly we're flooded with them.

Oh yeh, the IRA, considered illegal, can patrol our borders and our seas to stop drugs and get away with it. Not going to happen. Of course we're flooded with them.

smelltheglove

This issue isnt even related to drugs though. Wayne hated drugs but this is nothing to do wtih drugs.

So the onus is on the PIRA to remove all drugs from society? You do know that the PIRA exists only by name today, right?

Besides, is that what An Gardaí are for?

I thought this too when I saw it, I mean, if the IRA were to get involved why now? Why because of this particular victim?
There have been a good few innocents caught in the crossfire before and far worse areas where kids just out of nappies are intimidating people on behalf of some lard ass knacker at the top of the chain.

It doesn't make any sense really.

Aye, ridding the streets after the protection money stops... :rolleyes: It's like pot calling the kettle black. If the IRA / Sinn Fein showed a bit of respect for the law people mightened take such issue with them.

BTW I'll add that this "threat" is probably a load of bullsh1te

Because it gets to a stage where enough is enough.

How is he supposed to know the names of IRA? You tell me how the IRA built an international gun running empire by avoiding drugs. Where did all the drugs come from when the IRA ran crime in Ireland?

Because Wayne was well known in the area, he took no crap from anyone, including scum, he would not have shyed away from any scumbag causing threats, just as he did not on this night. He died a hero, he was protecting his family, his neighbours.

Just because they don't sell drugs doesn't mean they're not involved in how drug dealing works in Ireland.

The IRA are, at best.. 'regulators' of the drug trade here

Theory:

How many drug dealers live in an average community?

How many IRA members or sympathisers live in an average community?

Why do the IRA not assist Gardai in the smaller cases and only target the 'big fish' when they show a superiority to another criminal gang, ie the IRA?

= regulation of a black market and an attempt to sustain their place in the underworld

The dead man was innocent person and most certainly not scum, my point was what difference is it is if the IRA knocks off the person/persons who killed this innocent person both the IRA and the killers are scum and a headline saying IRA issue threat, is hardly going to make them goody goody saviours in my book, it would have to be a cold day in my grave before I'd give this IRA any credibility a sad mark on the name IRA who were the heroes who won our Independence in the 1920's.

Oh but arent they the de-jure army of the people? Dont we come before criminals? It is a basic duty of theirs to ensure the wellbeing of the Irish people, and the continued health of Irish society, free from the pollution of drugs.....
